Thanks, everyone, for the responses! This one was so much fun to write, and seeing other people enjoy it as much as I did just brightens my day like you wouldn't believe. Oh yeah, and to repeat what I put on my blog here: if you see a bit of your own story in here, it's probably because I'm tracking it! I poke fun out of affection, not malice. Almost all of these themes exists in at least one story that I've very much enjoyed.

Maybe I have brown hair. But in seriousness (as much as appropriate to the situation, at least), yeah, even after 4.5k words there remain many clichés that I avoided or simply couldn't fit in. Perhaps someday there could be a sequel? (Someday - right now, I'm just getting up to speed as a new writer by dabbling in as many genres as possible!)

Indeed. Applejack bucks apples, and is southern. I got nothin'. We need more AJ clichés, get on it, people! I also had some trouble finding parts for Rarity and Fluttershy, all three of them get a bit less fanfic attention than they probably deserve.

If fanfics are to be believed this actually happens every hour in ponyville. Not to mention a newcomer that is better than every element of harmony, every single character dies twice an hour to name a few things.

Always liked the title "Blinding Glory" more myself for Celestia's dark side, but an Inferno Blaze is fine too! Also, always impressed when someone manages to accurately write a character like Pinkie Pie (nevermind the whole little song, hah!)

that was fantastic! sooo funny! i love how you included the way twilight's listed events, from episode 3 "Applebuck Season." that's probably one of my favorite scenes of the show. i got a good laugh off yours too! :D

"I've already achieved ascension to alicornhood, patched up a pulverized pegasus, incorrectly interpreted innocent interactions (with comically chaotic consequences), and been serenaded by a squad of symphonious simulacrums of a particular pink party pony. How much more interesting could today possibly get?"

A very good deconstruction X3. The Rainbow Dash "having weird masturbatory fetishes" cliché is really, really overused (I will admit that I like the idea of RD being lesbian, just like Applejack) and I've also seen too much Fluttershy sexual innuendo jokes...

Only thing I'm missing is the mandatory "Cupcakes" reference, or maybe it's really well hidden...

Oh, and you want a Applejack cliché? "Very easily angry about unfair things and later realizing that's she has been wrong." Something I see quite often with Applejack, mostly in AppleDash fics where Applejack is startled by a Rainbow Dash in love.

Another Applejack cliché that might be a bit of a stretch: She always seems to be the childhood friend that tried a relationship with another mare.
